The Factory Girls/Come up to My Office Lyrics


DORSEY:
Iola Stover, will you discribe for the court Mr.
Leo Franks manner in the factory?

IOLA:
He'll call my name
I'll turn my head
He got no words to say
His eyes get big
My face gets red
And I want to run away

I'll feel his breath
Back of my neck
His hand against my chair
I'll punch the clock
Pick up my check
It seems like he's always there

ESSIE&MONTEEN:
He'll call my name
I'll turn my head
He got no words to day
His eyes get big
My face get red
And I want to run away

IOLA&ESSIE:
I'm in the hall
And then he's there
He passes much too close
I change my clothes
Put up my hair

MONTEEN:
I'm in the lounge
I turn around
He passes much too close
I eat my lunch
I hear a sound

IOLA,ESSIE&MONTEEN:
And somehow I'm sure he knows
And I turn
And he smiles
And he says

LEO:
Why don'tcha come up to my office?
Got a couple o' things you might like to see
Why don'tcha come up to my office?
'Bout two-fiffteen 'til a quarter to three
If you could maybe swing by honey
Well, you know it'd be okay with me
If you came, if you came, if you came
If you came to my office

Why don'tcha come up to my office?
I got a bottle o' wine and the cork ain't popped!
Why don'tcha come up to my office?
Where it's nice and cool when the blinds are dropped
If you could maybe swing by honey
We'll pretend that bad ol' clock has stopped
If you came, if you came, if you came
If you came to my office

I know this new dance that they're doin' in Manhattan
I'll get you dancin' like you've never done before
And I'll give you things that they sent me from Manhattan
And if you like, well, I got more
Hell I got more

Come on and come up to my office
I got a fine fried chicken with biscuits for two
Come on and come up to my office
We got lots of things that we both can do
Just take a break and swing by, honey
No one has to know but me and you
That you came, that you came, that you came, that you came
When you came, when you came, when you came,
when you came
If you came, if you came, if you came, if you came
So Come on! Come on!
Why don'tcha come up and come on and come up to my
Why don'tcha come up and come on and come up to my
Why don'tcha come up and come on and come up to my
Come on and come up
Come on and come up
Come on and come up
Come up and come on

IOLA,ESSIE&MONTEEN:
He calls my name
I turn my head
He got no words to say
His eyes get big
My face gets red
And I want to run away
And he looks
And I wait
And he smiles
